the "new york times," "the wall street journal", the washington post and cnn all reported that families making under $250,000 a year would keep their tax cuts but that everyone above that threshold will lose them. in fact, that is not what the president's plan does. every family keeps their tax cuts on the first $250,000 of taxable income. every family only the income that's above 250,000 is taxed at the higher rate, not the entire amount, only that top 1,000 is taxed at the higher rate. how did the media get this so wrong? it might have something to do with the white house's own messaging. here is the president last week. >> i am calling on congress to extend the tax cuts for the 98% of americans who make less than $250,000 for another year.
